Sexual assault complaint
In the complaint, Mouliaá recounts the events that took place one night at the end of September 2021 when, after chatting on social networks for “about a year”, the politician invited the actress to the presentation of his book.

According to Mouliaá’s account, already in the car, he had adopted “a dominant attitude”. And in the elevator, he allegedly grabbed her “strongly” by the waist and kissed her “violently”, “leaving her out of breath”. Once at the party and after dancing and chatting with the other participants, he allegedly took her “forcibly” to a room, where several contacts would have taken place “without the consent” of the actress.
